Fulham look destined for a win in their match on Saturday against Burnley. Bookmakers have them down as fairly big favourites, with the visitors going through a bit of a slump in the Premier League lately.

Fulham are number 11 in the table on 21 points after 17 matches. Burnley rank as number 19 with eight points after 17 matches played.

Fulham booked their place in the EFL Cup semifinal Tuesday night and must be buzzing after seeing such rare success in the cup. They will carry that buzz into their home game with struggling Burnley.

Fulham scored 21 goals, conceded 17, and pulled off two clean sheets in their past ten matches.

The Clarets scored ten goals, conceded 20 and kept their opponents from scoring once in ten matches.

Burnley ended up winning 0-2 in the most recent meeting between these two rivals. Rest assured they have a similar outcome in mind at Craven Cottage., when they once again face Fulham.

Fulham vs Burnley Prediction

Fulham Form

Fulham added four points to the standings in their previous three matches, where they first beat West Ham 5-0. They were then defeated 3-0 against Newcastle, before drawing 1-1 against Everton. It has been a bit hit-and-miss for Fulham but at least mostly hit, as they put four wins on the board in their previous six Premier League matches. They didn't draw any matches, but lost twice, scoring 16 goals while conceding six.

Burnley Form

Burnley only managed to gain a single point in their past three games, which kicked off with a 1-0 defeat against Wolverhampton. A 1-1 draw with Brighton followed, before Everton ran out 0-2 winners. Burnley claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Premier League. They also drew one and were defeated four times, as they were outscored by 11 goals to five.

It seems both Burnley and Fulham have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues on Saturday, and we are rooting for goals.

Fulham recorded 13 points following four wins from their last five games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored ten goals, but also conceded one. Fulham enjoy a record of six wins, three draws and eight defeats in the Premier League this season. Burnley have a record of two wins, two draws and 13 defeats in the Premier League.
